White grease

[Olderisbetter]

I took appart a gearbox from a electric gate made by "NICE" it was half full of water and treipping the mains, I have cleaned it out and dried the motor, It was full of what i call white grease i used to see this in plastic gear boxes,There are a mix of steel allow and plastic gears in it, Is there a specific grease for this type of gearbox?

Gears might be nylon, some greases cause nylon to swell.

Sometimes it's PTFE grease, as used in the food industry.

Thanks for answers i have non of those so i will get some and have a look at them to see what look the same, But at the moment it seems the motor is down to earth after a quick test on the robin meter.
